Can at the Sweet Pea Kitchen, Bradford on Avon. Yellowy-gold with a light fizz and a thin white head thay swiftly fades away. Watery from the off. Sweetcorn and a little lemon. Some nice floral notes in the aftertaste fail to compensate for the sweet, flabby malt and the thin body. It's not horrible, but it certainly needs to be a bit crisper and hoppier to achieve anything.

0.33 l can from 'Beyond Beer', best before March 2025. A little hazy, golden with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, gently fruity-floral aroma of pineapple, lemon peel and some grains. Slightly sweet, moderately bitter, gently fruity-floral taste of grains, lemon peel, pineapple and some rubber, followed by a short, moderately bitter, gently dry finish. Thin to medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Quite okay but definitely not their best.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from SPAR-EAT17. Pours totally clear yellow with a fizzy, white head. Lightly sweet with a lot of pale grains, simple bread, hints of grass and straw. Light bodied with spritzy carbonation. Semi-sweet finish, more crispy cereal flakes, doughy biscuit, hay. So so.

Can, 0.5%. Weak aroma of light caramel. Clear shiny golden colour. Very small white head. The flavour is watery and slightly bready. Low bitterness. Quite bland.

Shared 330ml can on 15th August 2023, The Boot, Wellington. Bloody awful, dull golden body, no head, wet cardboard and a hop!

And a soda water saltiness. Some damp cardboard. Light. Watery. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry finish. Non-alcholic seltzer.
